Unable to use all my funds on FTX futures

I’m unable to place a leveraged trade on FTX. I’m trying to change the leverage and then open a limit order. When I try this I get an InsufficientFunds Error. But when I try to open the same amount at the same price on FTX itself it goes through. Maybe my max leverage didn’t change?

Code:

import ccxt
import pandas as pd

connection = ccxt.ftx({'apiKey': 'xxx', 'secret': 'xxx', 'enableRateLimit': True, 'options' : {'defaultType': 'future'}})

market = 'AAVE/USD'
baseCurrency = 'USD'
reduceAmount = 0.295 # Only use 70.5% of capital
leverage = 3
limitPrice = 300

balance = connection.fetch_balance()['total'][baseCurrency]

connection.private_post_account_leverage({'leverage': leverage})
amount = float(connection.amount_to_precision(market, balance * (1 - reduceAmount) * leverage / limitPrice))

print(amount)

limitOrder = connection.create_order(market, 'limit', 'buy', amount, limitPrice, {'PostOnly': True})

Traceback:

Yeah thanks, it works for me. I tried AAVE/PERP before which gave me a KeyError, but AAVE-PERP works. It was pretty confusing because most markets in ccxt uses a slash instead of a dash.

@Gladi-iwnl as far as I see, the above should also answer your question as well.

Closing this for now. Feel free to reopen it or just ask further questions if any.
